Ok i want to know what is considered high and low sugar in diabetes? |
what is the reading on the home meter suppose to be.. I have heard so many different answers...So can someone please tell me what is considered as high sugar, low sugar and border line sugar? for example say you test your sugar at home and it is like 126 and then maybe 110 and then maybe 74.. please someone help me out on this? Glucose level up to 100mg/dl are normal. Levels between 100 and 126mg/dl are considered risk factors for type 2 diabetes. Levels 126mg/gl or higher are diagnosed as diabetes. From what I've been reading, your glucose levels may change during the day depending on what you've been eating...that is why you have to make sure to be on a good diet to keep your sugar levels normal and stay healthy. Source(s): living with a type 2 diabetes hubby guidelines for normal blood sugar are 80-110 ( on paper anyways) diabetes is a very tricky disease and some people will run a little above the 110 number and their doctor will consider this normal (especially if the person is taking daily medications that can increase their sugar levels) same goes with levels below the 80. as long as the level doesn't drop below 50-most doctors won't worry too much (medications can also lower sugar levels). your levels will change throughout the day depending on how often you eat and what you eat. hope this helps i work in trauma icu as a qualified staff nurse from England i can onlt try and answer this question. Diabetes is now a very prevelant illness and can be fatal. it is paramount that you take control of it as it can lead to keto-acidosis and death if ignored. i would imagine (and hope!) that you are reading the the results wrong. 126 shoul be 12.6 110 should be 11.0 otherwise i would get yourself to hospital quick. The normal range for Human blood Glucose readings is imbetween 4.5 and 9.0. diabetes is a disorder of the pancreas, which normally produces insulin that regulates blood sugar levels. when the pancreas is damaged, as in diabetes, insulin production is altered, resulting in either high blood sugars (BMs) or Really low BMs. text back for more info. Myself, Dan Arundel, Staff Nurse in Respiritory Medicine, Kirton Ward, Ipswich Hospital, Suffolk, England. Home monitors are not accurate. 100 i believe is the cut off if you haven't eaten. If you ate recently, All those numbers are fine. If you haven't eaten I wouldn't worry because those numbers aren't that bad, but 126 you might consider asking a doctor to look more into it. The doctor probably think your a hypochondriac |
